Psychophysiological study for optimal arousal level of sports performance

在由情绪行为或神经系统的唤醒引起的生理反应中，心跳感是最容易被察觉的。在激烈的竞争中，要想达到最佳的表现，身心的协调是必不可少的。本研究以反转理论为基础，从心理学的角度研究最佳唤醒水平与工作表现之间的生理反应。所得结果如下：1)通过焦虑特征的差异，心率的增加并不反映唯一的消极情绪。2)心率的降低反映在任务过程中的焦虑或兴奋，这比一个人的技能水平略高。在一个人的焦虑情绪中可以观察到大脑的激活。3)不同任务的主动或被动反应对心脏活动的差异具有显著性。

Among the physiological responses which are derived from an emotional behavior or an arousal of nervous system, the sense of heart beat is easy to be aware. Fine tuning of the mind and body is essential to the achievement of optimal performance under the competitive situation. In this study, we aimed to study the physiological response indicating the relationship between the optimum level of arousal and performance from the psychological standpoint based on the reversal theory. The results obtained were as follows. 1) By the differences of anxiety traits, the increase of heart rates did not reflect the only a negative emotion. 2) The decrease of the heart rate was reflected on an anxiety or an excitement during the task which was a slight higher than one's skill levels. The activation of the brain was observed in one's anxiety feelings. 3)The active or passive responses on different kinds of tasks were shown significantly to the differences in cardiac activities.
